I saved money by not going shopping ... yet.
I also save the liquid from my sliced yellow peppers so that I can slice the whole ones and out them in that juice...yum!I save the pickling liquid from the jars of pickled cucumbers I buy at the supermarket and use it in a couple of different ways.
I slice up onions and put them in jar and top it off with extra white vinegar and give it a good shake and leave it in the back of the fridge for several weeks.
I use the liquid as a ready made salad dressing.
I never, ever throw it out.
Thank you for mentioning the senior discount.For the majority of my large purchases I go to a non tax state about 100 miles south of here. The farm supply store there has 10% off every Tuesday for old timers. So I save 6% for no tax, plus an additional 10% just for being old. We also take a large ice chest and do our major grocery shopping there.
How much Gas for that 200 mile trip...?!?For the majority of my large purchases I go to a non tax state about 100 miles south of here.

It takes about 13 gallons of gas when I take my truck and, and a little more, when I take the trailer. But I never come back with less than $1500 - $2000+ worth of stuff, and sometimes way more than that.How much Gas for that 200 mile trip...?!?
I do kind of the opposite of what you do. I charge everything & use cash back, no fee credit cards. I don't like debit cards because they don't have the protection of a credit card. Two different years we got $1,500 back.I have had a credit card & fuel card for many years before I retired in 2008 recently i cut them up , always paid them in full each month anyway , but the monthly charges keep going up each year even if not being used, it was a waste of money , I use my debit card now , so cannot spend if i do not have enough in it , being an equal opportunity person my wife has her own card ( which pays from her own pension ), i only use that if i really need to , yes I do pay for the items bought if she remembers to ask for the moneywhen her statements arrives , no I do not pay towards the monthly fees as she has not thought to ask
Ditto for me.I do kind of the opposite of what you do. I charge everything & use cash back, no fee credit cards. I don't like debit cards because they don't have the protection of a credit card. Two different years we got $1,500 back.
I guess I saved money but mostly I eliminate a pain. I went to Dollar Tree & saw they had individual pizza containers (like the kind you use for sandwiches). I bought 5 of them & we had pizza last night. It was a lot easier to find space for those individual pizza's in the refrigerator than putting the whole pizza box in it. They worked like a charm.
I left my pizza out in the cat last night. I'm sure it's still good...right?So you don't just leave the box on the counter and eat out of it for 2 days like I do? Probably a good idea.
